"AI and Telecom"
While artificial intelligence has gradually become a mainstream topic in the Telecom industry over the last few years, large language models (LLMs) and generative AI have catapulted AI into the consciousness of everyone around the globe in just a few months due to the astounding public reception to ChatGPT. This jolt by LLMs for the entire field of artificial intelligence is being felt by seemingly all industries with Telecom being no exception. This presentation will describe the areas where Telecom can benefit from AI/ML - including generative AI and LLMs - as well as address Responsible AI and impending government regulations in the context of Telecom.
